My plan was to buy this rack and modify to keep the bikes secured and upright: https://www.harborfreight.com/750-lb...ier-62660.html
Reason for this was that when not hauling bikes, i could dual purpose this rack for other things or use it on our vehicles when not towing.
Does anyone know if you can buy the tire hoops seperately?
Or does anyone know of a universal optional accessory that does something similar that would work with the flat rack from Harbor Freight that i linked to above?

Why not forego the Harbor Freight rack ($99) and just order the bike rack with the hoops from Amazon ($169) and have the whole thing done in one shot, without having to re-do anything?
I suspect those tire hoops fold inside and lay flat in the rack when no bikes are being carried.

I thought about that, but the Harbor rack has 2 benefits.
-It folds up flush with the backside of the camper/vehicle when not in use.
-It has an additional 250lb rated capacity
I haven't ruled out just buying Tow Tuff rack, but my 2 points above are nice features.
My trailer 8299BS came with a fold down rack. Problem is that is beat the crap our of everything on the rack because it was foldable and not rigid. I subsequently bought the Tuff rack that you mentioned and I have been very happy with it. I use it for my 58 lb Ebike and another bike. Works great.
We got this contraption called an upnfront(https://www.upnfront.com) and it works great. We were able to mount 5 bikes on A frame between camper and TV. They were great guys and quick to answer emails with fitment questions... No, I don't work there. Good luck with whatever you decide.

If I couldn't put my bikes in my truck, this is what I'd get.
Puts the bikes where I can see them in my mirror.
